: How many formats and owners has that station had since 1985? I don't think it has ever recovered after the "reign of error" by Jim Coursalle.

Two owners since 1985:

Jim Coursolle - 1985 to 1990

Radio Plus - 1990 - present

... and a number of formats:

Country (WLKE "Lucky 1170" - 1985)

Rock oldies (WLKE/WLKD "The Lake" 1986 - 1990)

Standards (WMRH "Marsh Area Radio" & "The Music Of Your Life" 1990 - 2002)

After that, Radio Plus changed the calls to WFDL-AM, but didn't seem to know what to program on it but it was mostly local news/talk.

Then "Hit Parade Radio" for a few months this year and now back to "The Music Of Your Life". How long this format lasts until they flip it again is anybody's guess. I would suggest classic country, but C.B. absolutely hates country music.
